February 7, 201214 yr Glad Maverick's album isn't #1, he's become unbearable since starting this album campaigfn and I liked him before with his mixtape and The Lost Words :( Lana getting a second week at #1 is the only way forward and hopefully its sales won't drop too much. I also hope Born To Die and Video Games can stay sturdy on the singles chart. Wow at Young Guns being as high as #6 if that's true, their last album peaked at only #43 :o They'll almost certainly fall over the week but I hope they can at least stay top 20. The title track is in the iTunes top 100 as well so if it could get them an official top 100 hit that'd be great :D I haven't actually heard anything from this album yet but I did like the few songs I heard from 'All Our Kings Are Dead'. Really never expected Therapy to make a chart return. We don't know if they have yet :P The only midweek info we have is the #1, #2 and #6 albums. Edited February 7, 201214 yr by Bré
February 7, 201214 yr Glad Maverick's album isn't #1, he's become unbearable since starting this album campaigfn and I liked him before with his mixtape and The Lost Words :( By "he's become unbearable" you mean you no longer enjoy his music? Because I think he's great, and seems a really nice guy too (messed up accent notwithstanding).
February 7, 201214 yr By "he's become unbearable" you mean you no longer enjoy his music? Because I think he's great, and seems a really nice guy too (messed up accent notwithstanding). Yeah, I just mean I haven't liked any of his songs since 'The Lost Words' EP.
February 7, 201214 yr So can we now presume that We Found Love has passed a mill...? I'm thinking it sold around 11 000 last week so another 5 000 to go? Edited February 7, 201214 yr by Paramore
February 7, 201214 yr I'm thinking it sold around 11 000 last week so another 5 000 to go? Yeah, I thought it was only about 5k away - was thinking maybe it might have sold that across Sunday, yesterday and today? Can't see anything else passing 1m for a while yet, though. Any ideas on how to get 5,000 people to download Matt's When We Collide?? :lol:

Round that down to 10,000 and she's selling around 1,500 a day meaning she'll sell that millionth copy tomorrow. A very speculative average there. :lol:

February 8, 201214 yr Author Midweek Charts: Del Rey aiming for second week at top Source: MW 15:45 | Wednesday February 8, 2012 By Paul Williams Singles In the week Paul McCartney returns to the albums chart fellow Sixties survivor Mick Jagger could be heading for his first top five singles hit since he topped the chart in 1985 with the Live Aid cut Dancing In The Street with David Bowie. He is a guest vocalist with Jennifer Lopez on the will.i.am Interscope/Polydor single T.H.E. (The Hardest Ever), which is new at three in the latest sales flashes. Just ahead of it in second place is the Island-issued Gotye featuring Kimbra single Somebody That I Used To Know, which was three on last Sunday’s chart, while David Guetta featuring Sia Positiva/Virgin single Titanium retains the top position it secured last weekend. Island/Lava’s Jessie J is still fourth with Domino, while 3 Beat/AATW’s Alone Again by Alyssa Reid featuring Jump Smokers drops 2-5. Outside the Top 10, another David Guetta cut, Turn Me On featuring Nicki Minaj, sees its sales almost quadruple on the week to move 33-13 on the midweeks, while sales of the 14th Floor/Atlantic single Skinny Love By Birdy are up 55% on the week to move 24-15. Albums Lana Del Rey has opened up a narrow lead in her pursuit to top the UK artist albums chart for a second week as David Guetta bids to continue heading singles. The Polydor-issued Born To Die, which debuted at number one last Sunday after selling 116,745 copies, was in this new chart week around 3,000 sales ahead up to the end of business on Tuesday, according to the Official Chart Company. It is facing competition from a string of new albums in the busiest week of the year so far for new releases with up to half of the Top 10 this coming Sunday to be made up of new entries. Leading that charge is the debut album from Mercury’s Maverick Sabre with Lonely Are The Brave the week so far’s second top seller and nearly 12,000 sales ahead of the Hearmusic/Mercury-handled Kisses On The Bottom, Paul McCartney’s first studio album since 2007’s Memory Almost Full. There is an even bigger gap between albums for Van Halen whose newly-issued Interscope/Polydor set A Different Kind Of Truth, which shows up as a new entry at four on the midweeks, their first offering in nearly 14 years. Competing the charge of new albums into the Top 10 positions, Play It Again Sam act Young Guns’ Bones is the ninth top seller in the week to date, while 4AD act Mark Lanegan Band’s Blues Funeral is 10th. Having debuted at two last Sunday, Columbia’s Leonard Cohen album Old Ideas is presently ranked sixth in the new chart week, a place behind Asylum/Atlantic act Ed Sheeran’s +. XL act Adele’s 21 and Island/Lava’s Jessie J with Who You Are complete the Top 10 sellers, falling 4-7 and 6-8 respectively. The busy week for new albums is also reflected outside the Top 10 with a new Parlophone Pet Shop Boys retrospective, Format – B-sides & B-sides, in 12th position, while Virgin’s Air are 19th with Le Voyage Dans La Lune. New entries on this coming Sunday’s chart are also expected from Mute’s Goldfrapp, a re-issue of the Mercury album The Crossing by Big Country and Decca’s Juan Zelada. ===================================================== Wednesday Update Top 40 Only Source: Radio 1/OCC Singles 1 David Guetta/Sia 2 Gotye/Kimbra (5k behind) N/E 3 will.i.am/Mick Jagger/Jennifer Lopez N/E 39 Lil' Wayne/Bruno Mars N/E 64 Madonna/Nicki Minaj & M.I.A. =================================================== Albums 1 Lana Del Rey (3k ahead) N/E 2 Maverick Sabre (15k ahead) N/E 3 Paul MacCartney N/E 4 Van Halen N/E 9 Young Guns N/E 10 Mark Lanegan N/E 12 Pet Shop Boys N/E 19 Air N/E 29 Goldfrapp N/E 35 Big Country N/E 37 Juan Zelada

Good to see Lil Wayne in the top 40, although I haven't actually heard 'Mirror' yet - I'm just glad Lil Wayne is finally having some decent-ish success with his own song. I think this could outpeak 'Lollipop', especially if R1 playlist it soon. Neither of those re-entries are particularly welcome. Hopefully they'll drop out over the week. Fantastic to see Video Games back up to #12 and Born To Die holding #9 :cheer: Ugh at Birdy being in the top 15 again, I think she will re-peak this week :( Woo for Take Care and Lego House climbing. Surprised R.I.O. hasn't climbed more than a place yet but I'm sure it'll be top 30 by Sunday. Edited February 8, 201214 yr by Bré

February 8, 201214 yr One Direction are up to #25, not out - the fourth dropout is You Da One. Ooops, I even meant that as well, I just ended up typing the first four I searched.
February 8, 201214 yr After a dancing on Ice performance i expected One Direction to be much higher, everytime they do promo and no matter what they perform what makes you beautiful always seems to benefit. Goldfrapp are totally underperforming and i expected a much better performance, that said the Pet Shop Boys are the opposite and doing much better than anticipated.
